OMG!!

I can still remember watching this episode when it was on TV. I think the Monica/Chandler thing shocked me the most!! And then... Ross says Rachel... which made you just go 'ahhhhh'.. especially as Rachel had come all the way to London to tell Ross how she really felt and then couldn't do it at the last second... I really felt for Rachel! Yet again this episode shows why I watch friends, its funny and some really shocking things happen!!moreless

The fourth season finale, part two.

Hugh Laurie guest stars. I loved his character even though they did not reveal his name. It was sad to see Rachel upset seeing Ross & Emily making out but at least she didn't ruin the wedding, Ross did! He says Rachel when he;s getting married. Oh god I am so excited about the season 5 premiere. I like how they fit Phoebe in even she didn't go to London. I expected her having the babies in the season finale. Guess I have to wait for next season! I wonder what is going to happen with Chandler & Monica. Guess I just have to wait.moreless

Rachel has rushed to London in an effort to stop the wedding while Pheobe tries to get in touch with Monica to warn her. Ross and Emily's parents try to negotiate wedding prices at dinner, Ross and Emily go forward with the wedding and there's a big shockmoreless

This episode includes many thrills and spills, you won't be dissapointed by the storyline, however you will be shocked! Chandler and Monica get together secretly, and there is a massive shock at the end. Be sure to watch this episode as it unfolds the rest of season five. We also see some beautiful English scenery as well as our favourite Friends characters. This is the perfect way to end a season with a real cliffehanger, you won't be able to wait to see season five to find out how this plot ends! The dramatic ending and twists along the way are brill, you'll just have to watch!moreless

Ross and Emily wed, but there are many obstacles in their wedding.

This episode was so good. This episode was so entertaining to watch. I loved when Ross said that he takes Rachel to be his wife instead of Emily. It was so hilarious. Ross and Rachel do belong together. They keep fighting their love for one another. This episode was one really funny episode, though. The writers really know how to make a good season finale. Phoebe also gave a good performance in this episode. She was very funny. This episode was definitely a series classic. One of the best things about this episode was Phoebe being pregnant. This episode is the perfect installment to the fourth season.moreless

Fabulous. Two of the most shocking events happen within 20 minutes of each other.

I love this episode. Monica and Chandler start their life-changing relationship and Ross and Rachel get back together, sort of.

One of the best moments of the episode is when Rachel walks in, hoping to stop Ross marrying Emily, but she sees them kissing, and she decides to congratulate him instead.

I think the appearences by Tom Conti and Jeniffer Saunders are great too. I think they're truly terrific actors, and they really did make this episode a lot funnier.Another great scene is where nobody laughs at Chandler's toast (I'm guessing this was to make fun of the fact that English people have such a different sense of humour to Americans).Anyways, I think this episode is underappreciated (even if it is currently the 5th highest ranked Friends episode on this site), because it is fabulous. It has a lot of similarities with 'The Last One' too, which of course, is only a good thing.moreless

TRIVIA (8)

Trivia: Both Ross and Chandler made strange comments about each other's first girlfriends in their best man speeches. In this episode Chandler said Ross over inflated his first girlfriend and in "The One With Monica and Chandler's Wedding" Ross said that Chandler's first girlfriend couldn't control her bladder.

Continuity: When Ross and Emily's parents meet for the first time, Judy Geller makes the joke that this may be the only wedding they get to throw, referring to Monica never getting married. However, Ross was married once before to Carol and, presumably, already had a wedding.

Continuity Error: Although the wedding dress Emily is wearing is similar to the one picked up by Monica in "The One with All the Wedding Dresses," it is clearly a different design. What's more, Emily is wearing a matching jacket that was not with the dress Monica picked up, and a tiara instead of the veil Monica wore.

Goof: When the wedding begins, the first bridesmaid walks down the aisle with a man, dressed in the same attire as the best men. He is not seen again, and the only men in the wedding party are Joey and Chandler.

Goof: When Ross and Emily's parents are arguing at the church, Jack Geller's hands, as well as his glasses and the paper, switch positions whenever the camera angle changes. When Ross breaks up the argument, saying "This is our wedding day," a camera angle briefly appears with Ross speaking, but his lips are completely out of sync with the words being spoken.

Factual Error: When the scene cuts from Chandler and Joey's hotel room to the church right before the wedding, it goes via a shot of the Houses of Parliament in which St Stephen's Clock Tower clearly shows that it is after 8pm, a fact borne out by how dark it is outside and the fact that Rachel arrives before the wedding despite having only left New York the same day. Marriages in England and Wales are only legal between the hours of 8am and 6pm unless one of the couple is house-bound, so Ross and Emily's marriage should not be legally binding.

Chandler: Look, the guy was crazy, okay? There is no way that you look like Ross' mother.Monica: Then why would he say it?Chandler: Because he's crazy! Okay? He came up to me earlier and thanked me for my very moving performace in Titanic!

Rachel: And so then I realized. All this stuff I had been doing, proposing to Joshua, lying to Ross about why I couldn't come to the wedding, was all just a way of...Gentleman on the plane: Oh, oh, oh! I'm sorry, can I interrupt? Yeah, I just want to say that you are a horrible, horrible person.Rachel: Uh, pardon me?Gentleman on the plane: You say you love this man, yet you're about to ruin the happiest day of his life. I'm afraid I have to agree with you friend, Pheebs. This is a terrible, terrible plan.Rachel: But he has to know how I feel!Gentleman on the plane: But why? He loves this, this Emily person. No good can come of this.Rachel: Well I think your wrong.Gentleman on the plane: (Sarcastically) Oh no! Rachel: He doesn't really love her! It's just a rebound thing from me. You'll see.Gentleman on the plane: Fortunately, I won't. And by the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break.

The writers only intended to have Monica and Chandler as a couple for a few episodes. The audience reaction was so strong, that they decided to keep them together a little longer, which eventually turned into the rest of the series.

The first episode not to have a proper tag scene at the end of the show. A few shots of London, pictures of the guest stars, and outtakes (some of which are from episode 5.01) run alongside the credits. This applies to the DVD release only.
